Question

5(x-6)+3=-7

I have no motivation to find the answer so can someone please answer this for me.

Answer 1

`x = 4`

Explanation:

`5(x - 6) + 3 = - 7 \\ 5x - 30 + 3 = - 7 \\ 5x - 27 = - 7 \\ 5x = 20 \\ x = 4`

Answer 2

x=4

Explanation:

5(x-6)+3=-7

Subtract 3 from each side

5(x-6)+3-3=-7-3

5(x-6)=-10

Divide by 5

5/5(x-6)=-10/5

x-6 = -2

Add 6 to each side

x-6+6 = -2+6

x = 4
